A classic combination that’s easy to spice up or cool down. If you like a looser sauce, add 1/2 cup of water to the coconut milk.

2 spray(s)

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Curry powder

1 tbsp(s), mild or hot, to taste

Table salt

  1. Coat a medium to large skillet with cooking spray; add oil and set over medium heat. When heated, add curry powder and salt; cook, stirring constantly, until curry is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add white parts of scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes more. Add coconut milk; stir to blend.

Notes

Add cilantro, hot peppers or tomatoes for a completely different twist. Serve this recipe with fresh pineapple, mango or papaya to cut the spice (will affect Points values).
